mamacmil Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Does anyone have some close-up pictures of the RF7 or RC7 binding posts? How about the RB75s? Are they bi-wireable (sp?), too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Here a RC7 binding post pic,with the Monster M series M2.4B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
device manager Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Those speaker cables probably cost more than the speaker itself. Nice pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 You can see the binding post on the back of the RF7,identical to the RC7.RF5's also use the same binding posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Here are couple more close-ups of the rear of the speakers. For completeness sakes, here is a closeup of the rear of an RF-5. As for the RB-75, I don't have any thus, no picture of the binding posts. However, according to the product description of the RB-75, it does indicate there are two sets of binding posts, thus it is bi-wirable. Here is more close-up shot of the binding posts of an RF-7. Identical to that on the rear of the RC-7 that 'TheEAR' has already posted. This is the rear of an RF-5. As you can see, it is identical to that of the RF-7 and RC-7.

skonopa Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Also to add (and for completeness sake), here is the picture of a rear of an RS-7. It is not the greatest (it is diffucult get behind it). The RS-7s are not bi-wirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamacmil Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 EAR and skonopa-thanks for the pics. I noticed that in theEAR's pictures of the RC7 and RF7, there are not "plugs" in the top of the binding posts that you would used for banana plugs. In one of the pictures that skonopa posted, there are. EAR-did you remove yours , or did they come that way. I have a set of 7s arriving in a few weeks, and I had planned on getting banana plugs for my wires, but I'm concerned about removing those plugs/caps...whatever they are.

device manager Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Mine came with little plugs that can be popped out. By looking at the other pics in this thread it shows that others have popped theirs out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 EAR: HOLY COW, EAR!!! That's one, impressive set-up ya gots there! Nice labeling job, too. So, are you a SUB-A-HOLIC? Are those 2-15s and a 12, or 2-12's and a 10? Beautiful setup!! -Picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Picky, Thanks,yes I am the subhuman of the forums here.And what you see is only a small fraction of the subsonic might I own The subs stacked are the RSW10,RSW12 and finally the RSW15.They can punch,and I mean PUNCH.For deep bass in this 10 x 14 room I also use the Sunfire Signature,Sunfire Mark II and Sunfire Junior.And as rear chair shakers the PolkAudio RSW505 and PolkAudio PSW404. Lets say my setup can play without any audible compression or stress past 120dB at listening position.Any movie,any music CD at any volume with no problems. mamacmil, I removed mine,I used some lesser Cardas cables before terminated with banana plugs,now I use only spades on larger speakers.

device manager Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 TheEar, while I appreciate the fact that you enjoy subs, don't you think you've got a few too many? Sitting in the key seating position (18 ft. from the subs) my dual 20-39CS+'s output 118dB (@ 10dB below reference level on my receiver) in my 5200 sq. ft. open room.

TheEAR Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Too many,nah this year I am adding at least 3 to 4 subs.In my larger room,where I use three large subs.Insanity took me over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary W. Graley Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 You guys have awesome, and I use that word correctly, systems! My wife now thinks that I'm some what sane with just the one velodyne SPL1200, she'd freak if I had two! I'd love another one of course, but doubt I'd go for more than two. My room is about 20 by 15 and with the RF7s and that sub, I'm pretty happy, not insanely happy, moderately happy... And yes those little caps do pop off you made need a small bladed knife to pry them carefully off but they just press in. G2 and DeviceManager, I'm a big fan of Brisco County Junior, if only they'd bring that to dvd, I've not seen the Evil Dead movies yet, how much gore verses comedy are in there?

mamacmil Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Thanks for the pictures and comments. (and, EAR, I've got to agree that you are a little nuts with all those subs...though I wouldn't mind experiencing the madness if I was ever in your neck of the woods!!! ) So, my question is, what does Klipsch put those plugs there for in the first place, if you have to pry them out to use banana plugs? Seems strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Ear: I'll bet the electric company loves you every month!!! I am quite impressed. We just have the one RSW-15 in our 10.5 x 19 room and for us it seems to work fine. But, I would not attempt to compare it to yours (apples to oranges). Thanks for sharing your photos with all of us. mamacmil: Yeah, me too! Why plug 'em if you must remove the inserts to use bananas? Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my RF-7s and the rest. But there are three areas I find fault with that I think they cheapened on: The binding posts, the feet and the grills. I am occasionally breaking off the small, plastic posts that insert into the holes in the face of the speaker. I have done plastics design for the auto industry (I know we're far from perfect, too) and I know this is not a very robust design. I own last year's models. I think they went to magnetic fasteners in the newer models, didn't they? If so, it was probably a good move. The grill on one RF-7 and my RSW-15 sub each have one broken post. "Where's my glue gun????" As for the feet, I removed the threaded stud-type feet with the rubber buttons on the end and installed something from Lowe's that is self-stick and will not scratch our hard floor. The rubber buttons "self-destructed" in a year leaving bare, steel studs. Not very "floor-freindly". -Picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
